I made the corrections, and in defense can only fall back on the cliché that haste makes waste. <br /><br />A few minutes ago I visited your own Paleoglot blog for the first time. What a treasure ~ I look forward to delving farther into it. I highly recommend it to people who visit Ancient Tides.<br /><br />Thanks again, Glen, for taking the time to straighten out my errors and for visiting Ancient Tides!Gregory LeFeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11872137290650811690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561021949330808781.post-64937425495718715262011-02-21T21:54:05.334-08:002011-02-21T21:54:05.334-08:00Careful.

Your title should read &quot;Sumerian&quot;, not &quot;Sumarian&quot;.<br /><br />You should also be more careful in paraphrasing his casual comparison of Sumerian and American Indian languages where he more specifically says: &quot;<b>In terms of structure,</b> Sumerian is much closer to American Indian languages, for instance, than it is to Akkadian.&quot;<br /><br />The &quot;in terms of structure&quot; part makes the comparison less kooky, although it&#39;s still a sloppy statement on his part when you consider the wide variety of differences between, say, Salish languages and Algonquian. I can only guess that maybe he&#39;s alluding to agglutination and chain-prefixing. It&#39;s a little unclear to me.Glen Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02440249042894225949noreply@blogger.com
